I miss hearing your signature laugh. :\

Still think of ya. Your time on this earth was far to short. I hope that you have Civ VI and Stellaris wherever you may now be as I know you would enjoy them. Your ability to stay positive and never sink into the quagmire if multiplayer games went south still amazes me to this day. Miss you, Malent!

To my old friend Malent, Im sorry we lost contact with each other over the years. I only recently learned of what has happened and it hit me very hard.

I am proud to have known and played with you when gaming was actually fun compared to what it's become now.

I miss our chats on xfire, our games of splinter cell, bf2142 and of course the early tf2 days.

You were a class act and a very smart guy, I see that your kindness has continued to touch all the people you came across in life and I know all miss you greatly.

I was right about something I said back in 2004 - 2005, Malent has got talent.

R.i.p buddy, I'll never forget you, you were one of the Best, most importantly you were my Friend.

We all still miss him and think of him. Thank you all for the kind words.

Still miss ya buddy.

Hey Malent,
I hope you are doing well wherever you are at this point. I enjoyed our season of highlander together and I think we both got better as we learned about our respective weaknesses. The medic always takes the most flak on a team and you received plenty when playing on the Squirtle Squad. However, like everyone else in this thread has said, you were not an angry person and when pressured you strived to be better. In our final match against John Madden, you played better then I had ever seen you play before and made smart decisions such as switching medi guns quickly and making it hard for our enemies to target you. I'm glad to have known and played with you.

I just found out about this, and I'm so, so sorry to hear it. I just want to say that Malent was one of the few consistently kind and reliable people out there. We had countless scrims with him and his team. He was always there for his team and mine, and regardless of the outcome, he was always a good sport.

Mike, I didnt even. I'm so sorry. I love you and thank you.

Michael. I never got a chance to really talk to you the final week with work being busy at that time. I've been thinking about you a lot lately up at work. There are still things that I posted up on the wall, like your mother having your shirts turned into a blanket for your room that are still up. Every day I think about you. Every day I miss you.

I hope you are well, brother.

omg I didn't know... I had always meant to reconnect after we had a falling out. I am so so sorry my friend. I will miss you dearly and I will always remember the good times we had. RIP Mike

You know, one day some guy you don't know came up to you and told you about an idea he had for a team that would win first place. You believed in that guy far more than he believed in himself. That pushed the guy to go through with the team and that idea ended up becoming a reality. I cannot thank you enough for the few things in my life that I have done and felt good enough about myself that you made that happened. Thank you so much Mike, I will never ever EVER forget the time I got to know you as a human being, you helped me grow as a person and I really want to thank you for making me the guy I am.

Malent, my friend. You were the nicest, most kind hearted person I ever met through my 15 seasons of UGC. You taught me so much about the game and about life. Patience, acceptance, and confidence. We had good times and bad and you were always positive regardless of the times we had. I hope your family and friends can pull through this terrible loss and keep the good times close to their hearts. You were a true friend to all of the TF2/UGC community and you will be deeply missed. I love you my friend. Rest well. -Purge

Malent was one of those rare people that was always friendly towards others, he'd always try to keep positive regardless of how bad a match went and wouldn't speak ill of anyone. I will sorely miss our chats and will be thinking of you every time I start a game of Civ VI that we never got to play together.

Wow. I'm very saddened to hear this news. I had no idea that this was even on his profile. It was fun playing with you Malent. Thanks for being on Second Wind this season.

Thanks for posting about Malent's passing. We had some good laughs and some great talks over the course of TF2/UGC. He always tried to treat people well and fairly, he felt stressed frequently after games becaues he cared too much at times. I always got a laugh when he said "Malent has Talent" to every person who he felt grossly mispronounced his name or when he did something cool. He'll be missed.

Good times, great games. Wouldn't have got my medals without you kid. Requiescat.

Thanks Roreh I didn't know how to tell them all. If anyone has any questions ask me (his brother)

To all friends of Malent


It is with heavy heart that I inform the steam community and the Team Fortress community that this past monday November 14th, 2016... we lost our friend. I'm not sure what the best way to reach out and inform everybody out here who was involved with Michael outside of posting on here. Hopefully this can quell some worries.

Once his obitiuary information is released I'll post the information on here as well. Thanks for being a part of this great mans life.

You smell pretty.

Ah yeah look at me I'm malent, I stratigically heal the right people at the right situational times, in order for those teamates to put out as most damage as possible

Haha , thats you dawg :D

Hit me up when you get back

Malent need to confirm scrim time for tomorrow. Message me when you get online

Scrim in 27 against you. Hope you will be online

Hey so... I think yesterday you said we would scrim today at 830est. For some reason that registered in my mind 830cst. I will not be home until a little before 830cst/930est due to work. Also, I left all my highlander teams. :] TTYL

You're an older woman!

Hey man, sorry about dropping last night in the middle of our convo, there's been some pretty serious storms in my area the past few days. If the power's not out when I get home, I'll talk to you then.

6:29 PM - Malent: "Theres a spy, he's murdering everything! Kill Jackal!"
6:29 PM - Malent: lol
